Purple text that reads: How does it work?

During your initial conversation, a counsellor will determine the severity of your issue and plan a course of action with you. To do this effectively, you will be asked some basic questions, such as your contact and demographic information.

Empower Me is a short-term, solution-focused counselling service. While some individuals may only need 1 or 2 sessions, others might require more. Each issue is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and there is no maximum. The number of sessions is determined by you and your counsellor. Long-term or severe cases will be referred to alternative resources better suited to deal with these types of cases.

Empower Me offers support in multiple languages by phone. Simply ask the counsellor for support in your preferred language and they will momentarily place you on hold to connect your call and include a translator. The average wait time to connect is less than 1 minute.
